PLEASE REPOST FOR INTERESTED PARTIES



Job Description: The Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Dresden University of Technology, Germany invites applications for a research position (PhD) in clinical neurophysiology and multimodal neuroimaging in developmental disorders with a focus on attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism and tic disorders. This is a full time PhD position within the newly funded Developmental Clinical Neurophysiology Group (Prof. Dr. S. Bender). The group is one of the few international groups that are able to examine the brain potentials evoked by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in children and adolescents. Source analysis and advanced time-frequency analyses of multi-channel electroencephalographic (EEG) data represent the main analysis techniques.


Responsibilities will include the design of combined EEG and TMS experiments and the analysis of behavioral, TMS and EEG-data. EEG data pre-processing is carried out by BrainVision Analyzer (BrainProducts GmbH), source analysis is performed in BESA (Megis GmbH). Matlab-based tools are also applied, especially with respect to time-frequency analyses, such as event-related EEG coherence. You will supervise patient recruitment and data acquisition.



Applicants for the position must have completed (a) a Master or Diploma degree in a relevant field (Psychology, Biology, Biomedicine, Biophysics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering) and (b) participated in research activities within the past years. Experience in computer programming (MATLAB), in EEG-data analysis, advanced statistical analyses and scientific writing would be a plus. The successful applicant will join a multidisciplinary team of researchers and clinicians and will receive further training in psychometric and neurophysiological techniques and the application of analysis tools for multimodal neuroimaging.



The position is available for a start date as soon as February 1st, 2011. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. The position is guaranteed for one year with the possibility of renewal after positive evaluation.


Salary will be consistent with levels in accordance with the German Research Foundation (50% TV-L: E 13) and depend on personal qualification and achievements. Compensation includes health insurance, and vacation time.



To apply or request more information, please send a covering letter detailing professional objectives and interests, CV, and the names and email addresses of two references (all together in one pdf file in German or English) with the subject line "DCN doctoral position" to the address below. Applications from many disciplines may be considered, and the position is open to qualified international applicants. Applicants with a disability will be given preference in the selection process.
